oh ya...
i was watchin TV in the evening, and did channel-surfing...came across HBO and it was showing "Judas", a movie regardin Jesus and the betrayal ...
i think, to create such a movie would be so so stressed...cos u have to follow the bible, and true enuf...the movie is exactly like the bible, of course some parts sure left out lah...
it basically focused on the Books of Matt, Mark, Luke and John... even the verses are the same, eg: "if you have faith of a mustard seed, you could tell the mountain to move... ...etc etc " ... feel like watchin "Passion of Christ" liao, but am i still underage for it?...it's M18 izit?...oh wells, not too sure
this was one of the many movies whereby i cried...esp when Jesus was crucified, the scene was very painful to watch, it wasnt gruesome or bloody, but the sacrifice of Jesus was painful to my eyes and my heart...heart kept beating so so fast, think it's GOD arrangement for me to watch this movie, think Laupa wants me to return to the right purpose...
one phrase in the movie hit me the most: (think it's in the bible, didnt check...haha)
Judas said, "why did u leave me?"
Jesus said, "i didnt... u left me"
i begin to question whether i'm doin things for my own gd or for His...eg: the recent Chorale thing, stage performances for last Sat and this coming Sun svc the movie definitely spoke to me
i wanna set things straight with God, i wanna use my mouth to worship Him forever, i wanna sing praises to Him, i wanna RUN AFTER HIM...i wanna set my heart/focus on the Cross and Him...
another recent event tat really spoke to me was Candy's devotion... go to Links, and find DE7000, click and read Devotion #25 (i think)...and read, it's quite long so i shall not write it here, but the thing tat spoke to me was tat, God nvr gave up on me even though we choose to gave up on the things around us...
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
this brings us back to John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life"
thx Pa...God is so so Gd, so so Great, so so Wonderful, so so Loving, so so Patient
PS: darren needs encouragement now!...tag tag tag!
